Short answer is – we are not likely to hand over models to ORNL. Between you and me, a large reason is that they will try to run the models and either a) have a lot of instructional and explainational questions requiring our nursing, b) have no end of questions on the code predictions and why, or c) generate public issues potentially in contrast with our ongoing work requiring our energy to explain the differences. All dilute our limited resources to respond to an unacceptable level.

This is the reality – in addition to the fact that we don’t want our work over the past 10 years to be credited to ORNL.

None of this would seem reasonable to ORNL, and I don’t know how to respond aside from ignoring the requests mainly due to distraction.
